INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Judy Carter August 31, 1998
TO : DATE: FILE
Chief Procurement Officer
SUBJECT: Jules Brothers All-weather
4` Jacket- Non -responsive
FROM: Asst. Chl Aandez REFERENCES:
Support Services
ENCLOSURES:
The Blauer Jacket submitted by Jules Brothers in the all-weather jacket bid does not meet
our specifications.
Prior to submitting our request for the all-weather jackets, the Fire -Rescue Department
looked at several jackets from different manufactures. We were looking for a well
designed product that was rugged, resistant to biohazardous materials and was able to
hold up under years of service. We were looking for a product that would hold up under
the tough conditions of Fire Service use. That could be easily cleaned if exposed to blood
and guts. We wanted a product that would be expected to last an average career of ten to
fifteen years or more. The Speiwak product met those tough standards. The Speiwak
jacket was designed for extreme outdoor conditions, intended for the camping and hiking
environment.
There are major differences between the Blauer jacket submitted by Jules Brothers and
Speiwak Style 1622 jacket. The Blauer jacket has a two piece sleeve instead of a three
piece sleeve that allows for a greater range of motion. The Blauer jacket does not have
two way pockets. The Blauer jacket does not have inside pocket detailing for special
equipment. It does not have Malden polar fleece lining thereby reducing warmth and
comfort. It does not have Malden fleece in the pockets. The Blauer jacket has inside
facings where insulation should be. This creates a cold spot down the center of the
jacket. The Blauer front zipper stops at the neck line. The Speiwak garret zips to the top
of the garment. The Blauer jacket does not have a drop -in three piece hood. The Blauer
jacket features a Velcro cuff instead of heavy duty elastic with snap closures. The cuff
area is a high blood contact area. Blood is not easily removed from Velcro. The Blauer
jacket does not have a Velcro front for quick on/off access. The Blauer product does not
have a pencil pocket above the sleeve. The Blauer jacket does not have a resemblance of
the highly visible reflective scotchlike package provided by the Speiwak jacket. This
feature allows for the quick identification of personnel during night or low -light
operations. These are just the major differences. The Blauer jacket would have been
rejected at half the bid price because it does not meet those specifications that we
consider essential for our all-weather jackets.
